"Proud of everything the team achieved this season. With the hard work and dedication of everyone, we won the Leagues Cup to win the first title in Inter Miami's history. We also reached the US Open Cup final and fought until the last minute for a place in the MLS play-offs," Lionel Messi wrote on his personal social media account.
The Argentine superstar joined Inter Miami in July and has made a big change for the team. With the presence of Messi and 3 former Barcelona members: coach Gerardo Martino, midfielder Sergio Busquets and defender Jordi Alba, Inter Miami's strength has increased significantly.

"We leave behind beautiful memories and above all the desire to improve to become stronger next year. Thank you to all the members of the club and the city of Miami for the support you have always given us. I am sure that we will continue to experience beautiful moments together," Messi wrote.
The 36-year-old superstar played a major role in helping Inter Miami win the first title in the club's history with the Leagues Cup championship. Messi had a streak of 7 consecutive matches scoring, a total of 10 goals in this tournament.

Messi then joined Inter Miami in the US Open Cup final. However, the Argentine superstar did not play in the decisive match. Inter Miami lost 1-2.
In the US Major League Soccer (MLS), Inter Miami was second to last in the standings before Messi joined. Messi did not make much of an impact in this arena in the final stages of the season when he was absent many times due to injury and fitness issues. Inter Miami could not qualify for the play-offs and ended the season early.
By the end of Inter Miami's 2023 season, Messi had scored 11 goals in 14 appearances. In addition, the superstar also provided many assists for his teammates.
